Parry Raines – Climate Girl

Meet Parry Raines – Australian Representative  for the International Youth Accord on Biodiversity

 

I spend most my time in the great outdoors and I also like to make documentaries. My production company is called Munchkin Productions. When I was 10 years old I came up with the idea of using film to teach kids about the environment and climate change. I decided to use film as a way of communicating to other kids about what they can do in their own lives that will help the environment.

 

On my travels for my environment work I always take the opportunity to interview kids on their thoughts about the environment and how it will affect their future, or if it has already. The film ”Children of the World and Climate Change” is a collection of statements from kids from around the world about their thoughts on climate change. I put this short documentary together for WWF’s People’s Orb that travelled to Copenhagen for the Climate Change Conference in December 2009. I, along with the Lord Mayor of Sydney were the first custodians of the Orb.

AOEP is a conservation advocacy program. By registering you will have access to downloads which you can incorporate into your classroom activities. It is hoped that some of the activities will inspire the children to create their own orangutan activities. Our hope is that once you become aware of the plight of the orangutan, you will be inspired to become part of the solution!
